Ohm Signs With M-Theory Audio
Heavy progressive/fusion band OHM have signed with M-Theory Audio. The power trio – whose lineup in 2022 consists of guitarist Chris Poland (ex-Megadeth), bassist Robertino “Pag” Pagliari (Uli Jon Roth, Frank Gambale) and new drummer Carlos Cruz (Warbringer, Machine Head, Power Trip) – will enter the studio this summer to record their as-yet-untitled new album. In the meantime, the band have unveiled a visualizer video for "Exit Stage Left," their first new studio recording since 2012 below.
Says Poland, "OHM is ecstatic to announce our signing with M-Theory Audio! It’s been a very long time since the release of our last album and with the passing of our previous drummers, David Eagle and Nick Menza, I’m truly grateful to share our new sound alongside bassist, Robert “Pag” Pagliari and drummer, Carlos Cruz. We’re excited for all to hear the new dynamics of our Instrumental/Fusion, especially the heavier elements brought in by Menza and continued by Cruz! Thank you to everyone involved for having us enter a new year with a new label team and to all who continue to support OHM!" More...
Glen Drover Readies Solo Album, "Metalusion"
With the release of his solo debut, "Metalusion" (due out April 5th), guitarist Glen Drover, best known for his precision and power playing with Megadeth and Eidolon, "blends the venom and attack of modern metal and the technically demanding musicianship that defines the classic jazz-rock genre."
The instrumental, 10-track album features five original compositions and metallic- edged interpretations of material composed by musical giants Frank Zappa, Al DiMeola and Jean-Luc Ponty.
"Metalusion" presents a side of Drover's musical identity that the metal community has rarely witnessed, while boasting diverse yet highly cohesive tracks. "Each song should sound as though it was meant to be included on the record," says Drover. "Nothing should seem as though it's out of place."
Assisting Drover are a number of special guests, including Nevermore's power metal/prog metal guitarist Jeff Loomis, Opeth's and Talisman's axe man Fredrik Åkesson, veteran Steve Smyth of the Bay Area's Forbidden, Ohm's guitar hero, Chris Poland (Megadeth) and classical metal master Vinnie Moore of UFO.

Chris Poland's OHM Finish Second Record
Megadeth lead-guitarist, Chris Poland and his band OHM: have just finished up their second record on the Rotten Records subsidiary, Blacknote Records. While the bands first release had more of a "stop on a dime precision" and laboratory sterility, this record has more of a live, natural and organic feel to it. Recorded at the bands Glass House Studios, with tenured co-producer Petar Sardelich, this record promises to be the most innovative and staggering work that Chris has ever laid onto tape. Chris says, "This record is more like you would hear OHM: live, we just let the machines roll and we played…" A release date of Tues. October 18th has been set for this record.
